Skew-normal Random
Generate a set of random numbers over a skew-normal distribution.
Usage
rSkewNorm(alpha, location, scale, [min], [max])
Generate a single random number, optionally limited by a minimum and maximum. If alpha
is zero, it would be the same as a regular normal distribution.
rvSkewNorm(size, alpha, location, scale, [min], [max])
Generate an array of size
with random numbers generated according to the specification provided.
Examples
var skewnorm = ; skewnorm; // Will generate a single random number with no skew.skewnorm; // Will generate a single random number skewed such that the mean is 7, rather than 5.skewnorm; // Will generate an array of 10,000 values with the above properties.skewnorm; // Will generate an array similar to the above, but with a minimum value of 0 and maximum of 10.
